Good morning, evening, or afternoon all!
Now that the animation has aired it's first few episodes, I am curious as to what everyone thinks of it's quality.
Instead of giving you a book to read I will keep this short and to the point.
My Opinion: I believe that the animation seems to deliver on all the key points that relate to the video games storyline, but it tends to take different side routes to get there.
I honestly wasn't blown away by the first episode as much as my friends were, but after the next two eps the animation has started to grow on me.
It's been a while since I played the game but I don't remember Alicia having so many issues with Welkin. It seems that the animation wishes to over underline and bold the fact that Welkin is a weirdo (which we all know that he is) and they are using Alicia as this outlet.
She sort of comes off a bit more of a side character than she did in the game for me. It's quite tragic and the chemistry between her and Welkin isn't quite near where I expected it to be at this point in the story.
Pluses: The fact that they have used the story shading effects in the animation, it sort of pays some more respect to the source material.
Minuses: Their first real battle outside of Bruhl just doesn't feel nearly as epic as it did in the game, it wasn't horrible either, just not as epic.
So for those who have watched it up to this point, what are your thoughts?
Have you jumped ship yet? Are you still excited about this anime, being a fan of the game it is based on?
